AFRICA TIME ZONES

(UTC/GMT -1) Cape Verde Time Zone.
(UTC/GMT +0) Greenwich Mean Time Zone, Western European Time Zone and Western Sahara Time Zone.
(UTC/GMT +1) Central European Time Zone and West Africa Time Zone.

Daylight Saving Time (DST) is currently not used by any country in Africa.
The government of Morocco announced that effective October 27, 2018 the country will observe GMT/UTC + 1h year round. Previously Morocco observed UTC/GMT + 0 standard time and UTC/GMT + 1 during daylight saving time.
The king of Swaziland announced in 2018 that the country has been renamed eSwatini which means "land of the Swazis". This change had no impact on the country's time observance.
